  • ruФизическое свойство материала, которое измеряет его жёсткость или сопротивление упругой деформации при приложении силы, определяемое как отношение напряжения к деформации.

A physical property of a material that measures its stiffness or resistance to elastic deformation when a force is applied, defined as the ratio of stress to strain.

    • Steel has a high elastic modulus, meaning it is very stiff.
    • The elastic modulus of rubber is much lower than that of metal.
    • Engineers calculate the elastic modulus to predict how a material will bend under load.
